8:51 pm	Top Ten Budget Paris Restaurants Altitude, one of the 95 restaurants in Paris, serves dinner at the Eiffel Tower. The restaurant has big bay windows that overlook the twinkling lights around Paris at night. Rather than a menu-style restaurant, the restaurant offers nightly specials, so there is only one option on the menu and it's served to all of the guests. Seine Cruise For a romantic dinner and night on the town, the Seine Cruise offers entertainment, meals, wine and a meal. Enjoy your meal over the Champs-Elysees. The cruise requires formal dress and lasts for about four hours. The cruise takes you under some of the most famous bridges in Paris while catching glimpses of the Paris skyline. Wining and dining is often a major pull to vacation in Paris. Whether you are traveling with your significant other or family and friends, there are numerous dining options available for you to enjoy during your stay. There is a restaurant in Paris for almost any craving you may have or any atmosphere you may seek. You can even plan to dine in a different restaurant in Paris for each night of your stay and never have to eat at the same one twice. Cuisine and a restaurant culture are France's bread and butter - or should you say toasted baguette and fois gras! - for there are few destinations in the world where fine dining figures so highly in the national consciousness. For those fortunate enough to have eaten with a French family, the importance of mealtimes cannot be over-emphasised. But whether it's for breakfast lunch or dinner, backpackers staying in Paris hostels are well advised to seek out only the best budget Parisian restaurants. L'Astier, 44 rue Jean Pierre Timbaud The Astier offers exceptionally well prepared French food at a reasonable price. An a la carte dinner can cost as little as 29 euros and offers sizeable enough portions to satisfy even the most hungry budget traveler. Former satisfied diners recommend the home-cured herring. Kong, 1 rue Pont Neuf Attentive service, exquisite food and all at a wallet and purse-friendly price. The restaurant is also has a bar in which tourists can wait for a table or have some après-meal drinks. Le Timbre, 3 rue St-Beuve It may be a tight squeeze but that's unlikely to deter most hungry Paris hostel dwellers. If you can fit this restaurant into your schedule once, you may well pencil it in for a later date. Excellent food with a good selection at every course. Le Relais de l'Entrecote, 15, rue Marbeuf For those that enjoy steak, there are few better places to experience red meat the French way. Not the cheapest on our list, but what can a traveler expect for a sample of the delicious secret steak sauce. Definitely worth choosing one of the cheaper hostels in Paris to spare some money for a reservation! L'Ourcine, 92 rue Broca Inexpensive French bistro food served with a smile. Small, but the good food and excellent English speaking service will make you forget the size. Cafe Constant, 139 rue Saint Dominique Simple French cuisine that attracts all classes of local Parisians - a testament to its quality and popularity.
